To all whom it may concern:

Be it known thatI,IsAAo MILLER, of Worth, in the county of Tuscola andState oflVIichigan, have invented certain new and useful Im provementsin Cultivators; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full,clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon,which form a part of this specification.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my inventionappertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe itsconstruction and operation, referring to the annexed drawings, in whichFigure 1 is a side elevation, and Fig. 2 a plan View, of my machine.

The frame of my machine consists of a series of bars, A A, placedparallel and a suitable distance from each other, said bars being all attheir rear ends connected by a bar, B, and near theirfront ends anotherbar, O,passes through mortises in them. The center one of the bars A, aswell as two other bars at each side, extend a suitable distance in frontof the other, and are connected by a bar, D, on which are secured hooksa a to attach the tongue E.

Between the front ends of the projecting side bars, A A, are pivoted twometal bars, I) b, the rear ends of which are curved uward andperforated. In these bars I) the axle of the wheel G has its bearings,and said bars are held in passing up through the bars and secured bynuts on their upper ends.

Braces I I are attached one in rear of each tooth, the lower ends ofsaid braces being in theshape'of the hook-catches in the rear side ofthe tooth, and not only braces it, but also holds it up firmly againstthe bar A in its proper position.

Handles JJ are suitably attached on the upper side of the frame.

The arrangement of the frame A B0 D,
